Yes...in some locations. Some bodies of water are under USCG jurisdiction, and some are under NYS Parks Marine Services Bureau. I'm good on the NYS Parks jurisdiction. As I understand it, those are lakes that do not connect to the barge canal, which essentially connects to the rest of the world (flows to the ocean).

It must be. As long as you get the certification, you're good to go. Its nice that its free. I didn't look around much for a free one. Its very possible that its the exact same course that I took thru aceboater.com and paid for...Is this the same thing?

I have not taken the course yet, but the wife just passed the test with a 95. The test took her 20 minutes to complete. She set the bar high for this competition, lol.

Did she have to take a course before taking the test? If not, please let everybody know where she took the test. In my case, it forced me to sit thru the entire course first. That took almost 5 hours. Then, the test itself only took 15-20 minutes. I'm sure I could have passed the test easily without the course but it wouldn't let me do that.

Yes, she took the online course, about 5 hours of short video's first. Then the test. North America's Official Boating Educator | BOATsmart!®
